If you can tear yourself away, spend the day along Sgarasta Mhòr Beach where you can take a scenic stroll along the golden sands or dip your toes in the water during warmer months; close by you can also enjoy a round at The Isle of Harris Golf Club or embark on the Sgarasta Mhor Path from your doorstep, both boasting stunning views of the coast. Travel to the village of Tarbert by car which is host to a newsagents, supermarket, and the Pierhouse Café and Restaurant where you can stock up on the essentials or grab a bite to eat before continuing with your itinerary. However you choose to while away the days here on the Isle of Harris, do it from the stunning base of One Sea. EPC Rating: Band B
The name Tarbert, which means "isthmus" or "crossing place" in Gaelic, refers to the fact that it connects south Harris to north Harris and the Isle of Lewis. Tarbert is the principal town on the Isle of Harris. It is well-known for being the Harris ferry port and has a lovely setting with towering mountains providing a dramatic backdrop to the town. The Harris Hotel, the Pierhouse Café and Restaurant, and Island Bites are some of the dining establishments there. It is also home to a number of stores, including Harris Tweed & Knitwear. While you're here, stop by AD Munro and John Morrison to stock up on necessities for your wardrobe. The North Harris Eagle Observatory is nearby, and there are untamed beach walks, a variety of watersports, and fishing right outside Tarbert. Hebridean Ceramics, the Hebridean Design Company, and Clisham Arts and Crafts are just a few of the art studios and galleries that can be found in the Tarbert region.

The house was lovely with everything we needed for our stay; it was clean, warm and tidy, we had a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. On our last day Elly (housekeeper) was helpful sorting out an extra night at One Sea as the ferry service was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions which we were very grateful for, plus we got to stay an extra day on Harris. We would happily stay at One Sea when we visit Harris again - hopefully soon.

Nice modern deco. The view over Scarista beach is stunning. The house is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Feels like home from home . Comfy beds and 3 bathrooms with plenty hot water mean no queues to get ready

There were many unclean items in the kitchen that we needed to wash before use and the teabags, kitchen roll & washing up liquid had not been replenished. When we contacted the cleaner she told us to go and buy some and did not want to address it and was very rude. We found the dryer unusable until it was cleaned by us due to lots of sand, fluff & overflowing water tank. The wooden floor leading into the lounge was raised due to damp and therefore we could not close the lounge door. There are no side tables to put a drink on in the lounge, we had to put our drinks on the floor. In all three bathrooms there were no hooks to hang a damp bath towel and no hand towel holder. There was a roll of wires hanging out from the main bedroom wall. Sparkling grape juice left as a welcome pack rather than a bottle of wine! We have stayed in much more luxurious properties at half the price - very disappointed. There is much to address before the property can be described as luxury. Overall a very expensive non luxury stay.
